Autumn is closing in.
And it’s my favorite time of the year.
The air is crisp, the trees are full of apples….
And if you’re lucky enough to live in Maine like I do?
Mother Nature puts on a glorious show of turning leaves.
(Yes, those are my photos. And yes, those are my apple trees.)
But this year?
There’s something I’m not looking forward to.
The annual Pumpkin Spice’d every damn thing but condoms invasion will be rolling out shortly, and while that’s annoying enough….
This year?
There’s a new kid on the pumpkin spiced block.
It’s true… as well as disgusting.
Yes.
Pumpkin Spiced Spam.
Forget changing leaves and brisk breezes — pumpkin spice is the official harbinger of fall. And, for better or worse, Spam is entering the flavor fray.
While there’s no amount of money that could convince me try it and report back….
If one of you would, I’d appreciate a first hand account of how truly awful it is.
Pumpkin-spiced Spam? I am so there that I’m actually on the other side of there.
Do you do anything with the apples, by the way?

Oh yes… I bake day and night. Apple pie, apple bread, apple crumble, caramel apple upside down cake, apple and cheese lasagna, apple stuffing, apple bars, apple molasses cookies….
I estimate a 21 lb weight gain this fall.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. And it probably tastes better than that Spam.

Oh hell, I never even thought about an entire factory full of the stuff. 90 miles probably isn’t far enough away to be down wind. Blech…

I say we should take some of your apples, and some of that “pumpkin” spam: making a type of fruit cake, and then have ourselves a party.

… the amazing thing to me is not that someone actually thought up the concoction, but rather that a whole room of marketing mavens at Hormel thought it would be a great idea.
I think it is time for the Board of Directors to bring in new management.

Let’s go one step further and ask why Spam is even on the shelves….
My MIL has passed, so who’s still eating it?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Har! Well, it is impossible to explain, but since I was raised on it, I actually do get cravings for it occasionally. But I don’t eat pork these days, and Snookums wont allow it in the house. And a whole can is a bit much to consume in the car. It is an unrequited craving for me …

My MIL was the queen of Spam. Of course she had 9 kids to feed so that may explain it…. Spam in spaghetti, Spam in pasta salad, Spam burgers, fried Spam and eggs. The list was endless. But Spam loaf? There’s no excuse for that. Blech!!

The pumpkin stuff is already coming out in force. All I want is a slice of pumpkin pie, and I can wait until Thanksgiving for that. I do love autumn, but keep the pumpkin spice in the cabinet folks.
